I am multi-layered with intersectionality embedded in a lifetime of discomfort from colonialism, narcissism, and capitalism, which has granted me the gift of anti fragility and neuroplasticity.

I'm here to challenge your reality.

So I created an exercise to connect with messages from your ancestors via music.

"Creating an Ancestral playlist"

Now I need to find a volunteer to test it out. It's free.

I think it will blow your mind.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I'm being #Massreported on tiktok for posting content on #birthrightcitizenship and #NativeAmericans

See: vm.tiktok.com/ZMk4ok6x2/

TikTok sent me notices saying they noticed an uptick in "unwanted and unfriendly comments".

Does that mean I'm right?
Notice from tiktok that my posts are receiving increased uptick in 'unwanted and unfriendly' comments. They recommend that I turn on increased anti-bullying protection.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

What does revoking Birthright Citizenship mean for #NativeAmericans?

This is about what happens when we’re forced to choose between allegiance to the USA and our Nations. And what happens if we refuse?
How does this affect #firstnations?

Americans (and Canadians) are in a #FAFO lesson in how fragile our food supply chain is without migrant labor.

We will be looking at triple digit inflation under #47

The Price of eggs is suddenly a lot more expensive, and so will fruit, vegetables, dairy, and meat.

Try and stock up what you can
Picture shows the rapidly rising prices of eggs in the market today. Prices across all sectors of the food market will go up sharply without migrant labor.

Just hit me why AOC is so good and brilliant at being the adult in the room with all the trashy losers making terrible choices around her. She used to be a bartender.

Please amplify like our lives all depend on it. Help my brothers and sisters hear this. My voice was silenced on the original Twitter, and later Facebook for posting about this fascism. #indigenous #firstnations #sovereignty #AmericanIndian #IndianCountry #nativeamerican #knowyourhistory #natives

🧵 Here's the thing. To really "resist" you have to do more than rant on social media. You need to change your consumer habits. Start with tech:

-boycott Meta and Twitter
-install an operating system like Ubuntu
-use open source software like LibreOffice
-use Firefox and Duck Duck Go

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Tras el saludo Fascista/Nazi hecho ayer por Elon Musk en la asunción de Donald Trump, este martes apareció colgado un muñeco con su rostro en la Piazzale Loreto de Milán, Italia. La misma plaza donde fue colgado el líder fascista Benito Mussolini en 1945: 🎥

An alleged X whistleblower has revealed how programmers were instructed to directly manipulate the app to destabilize democracy globally for the far right.
Having read this and now seeing how pro-Trump politicians posts from foreigners fare against anti-Trump ones it's pretty crystal clear
To Whom It May Concern, I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them. Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night. Danielle Smith with over 16,000 likes on her post: It is a far wiser approach, and a much more Canadian one I might add, to diplomatically identify their concerns through face-to-face engagement and work with them on negotiating a win-win for both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. President is clearly concerned about border security, achieving energy dominance and strengthening the shared defence of our continent. Our two countries clearly have shared interests in all of these areas. So let’s start there and move forward with a mature discussion as friends should. We need to lead with diplomacy rather than bravado, bluster and escalation. I will continue to do so. David Eby with 344 likes on a video that talks about how Trump's tariffs need to be met with retaliatory ones "@Dave_Eby · 4h This morning, I met with premiers & the prime minister and once again, I raised the need to break down trade barriers within Canada. The challenge posed by the tariff threat is also an opportunity to focus on growing our economy here at home."
